Happy #MiracleMonday!

Today we are going to get to know 12-year-old Declan Johnson. He was diagnosed with Spastic Diplegic Cerebral Palsy and Strabismus which he had struggled with for some time. However, after Declan was told he was going to be a big brother, he was immediately more motivated to move around and teach his siblings all that he could. When one brother had to undergo the same eye surgery he once had, he kept telling his brother “It’s okay I know exactly what you’re going through, you’re going to be okay.” Declan is the oldest of his 4 younger brothers and has really stepped up as a big brother.
